LAMP-BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 15, 1907.

Application filed April 1&1906- Serial NO- 312,383-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY BRYARLY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rogers, in the county of Columbiana and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is a lamp bracket, and more particularly one for miners caps, and has for its object to provide a secure and reliable support for the lamp.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention, showing the application thereof. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the bracket comprises a vertical plate 5, having at its lower end a forwardly-extending flange 6, which is riveted or otherwise secured, as at 7, to the vizor 8 of the cap 9. At the upper end of the plate 5 are forwardly and rearwardly extending flanges 10 and 11, respectively, the latter being riveted or otherwise secured, as at 12, to the crown of the cap. The bracket herein described is made of a single sheet of tin or other suitable metal, and the flanges 10 and 11 are formed by bending the sheet, as shown. The bracket is strengthened by beading or doubling the edges of the sheet, as shown. At the outer edge of the flange 10 is a notch 13, and behind this notch is a perforation 14:.

In use the hook 15 of the lamp 16 is passed through the perforation 14, the shank of the hook extending within the notch 13. The hook is closed or locked by a spring 17, secured to the lamp-body and bearing against the end of the hook, said end being notched, as at 18, into which notch the end of the spring extends. By extending the shank of the hook through the notch 13 the lamp is prevented from tilting sidewise, and the spring 17 effectively prevents accidental disengagement of the lamp-hook. The point of the hook bears on the plate 5, whereby the lamp is prevented from tilting forwardly. The lamp can be readily fastened to the bracket or removed therefrom and will be securely and reliably supported.

I claim- A lamp-bracket comprising a plate having at its upper end a forwardlyextending flange provided with a notch in its front edge, and a perforation in the flange behind the notch, in combination with a lamp having a hook extending through the perforation, the point of the hook bearing on the face of the aforesaid plate, and the shank of the hook extending through the notch, and a spring secured to the lamp and bearing against the point of the hook.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HARRY BRYARLY.
